# tmidtotcl(1)

create the tclmidi commands that will generate a MIDI file

## NAME

**tmidtotcl** – create the tclmidi commands that will generate a MIDI file

## SYNOPSIS

**tmidtotcl** \[**-playable**\] \[filename\]

## DESCRIPTION

**tmidtotcl** is a [tclmidi(1)](/tclmidi/1.md) script that prints out the tclmidi commands necessary to reconstruct a MIDI file. This is useful for editing existing MIDI files. By default, **tmidtotcl** adds commands to print the MIDI to stdout in the form of a Standard Midi File. If the **-playable** option is specified, **tmidtotcl** will add commands to automatically play the MIDI song after building it. The file name may be specified on the command line or read from stdin. See midievents(n) for a discription of the different types of events and their parameters. A similar script is the [tminfo(1)](/tminfo/1.md) program that prints the data in a MIDI file.
